This book didn't quite live up to everything I was hoping it could be.

I'm assuming that the next one is going to blow up pretty quickly, as this book took its time letting us get to know all the characters and immerse ourselves in the world. I love how vivid everything is, and I LOVE all of the povs and the characters, so those are big bonuses for me. The length of the chapters was pretty decent, and I don't feel as though we bounced around from character to character too much. I've read some books with a handful of povs, but the chapters are so short that you never really get to know one person before moving on. That wasn't the case here, I felt as though I was able to really get to know each character. 

The book started off so focused around Corayne, and her want to become a pirate like her mother, that I really thought there was going to be a lot more pirates… or maybe pirating, but there was close to none, and I was a little let down by that. 

I want to see more of the assassin side of Sorossa, so I'm hoping that comes through in the next book. I also hope that Corayne grows into herself a bit more. I find her to be a little dull, and considering she's supposed to be this big savior, I had higher hopes for her. 

While I enjoyed the buildup of this world and the series, this book was slow. It lost me a few times, and I found it hard to stay completely focused on it. I'm really hoping we jump right into the heart of it in the next one.
